if you’re having a bad day let academy award winner halle berry landing on newsom from the top rope just minutes before he comes on stage make you feel better - restart and watch for best results, enjoy!
"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either."

Cool update to last week’s story on why language doesn’t equal intelligence: a Michigan judge cited it to justify imposing sanctions over a ChatGPT-assisted filing that mentioned real cases but misstated their facts. Congrats to author @benjaminjriley.bsky.social!
![Court filing: LLMs are tools
that “emulate the communicative function of language, not the separate
and distinct cognitive process of thinking and reasoning.” Benjamin
Riley, Large language mistake, The Verge https://www.theverge.com/aiartificial-intelligence/827820/large-language-models-ai-intelligenceneuroscience-problems [https://perma.cc/7EHD-PLLZ]. When an LLM
overstates a holding of a case, it is not because it made a mistake when
logically working through how that case might represent a
“nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing
law or for establishing new law;” it is just piecing together a plausiblelooking sentence – one whose content may or may not be true.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7exlcsle4mjfhu3wnhcgizz6/bafkreicn2dgmwtlqwhdwlaijx5g66yqghjogfszcdp4d4afeyjfgwht2pi@jpeg)

BREAKING: President Trump declared that all of former President Biden’s pardons are now “invalid.” There is no legal mechanism for presidents to revoke their predecessors’ pardons but if Trump is taken seriously, thousands could be thrown into legal chaos.

I'm anti asbestos in cosmetics. Putting that stake in the ground right here, right now.
The FDA has suddenly dropped a proposed rule to require asbestos testing in cosmetics.
The rule would've set up testing to identify cancer-causing asbestos in talc-containing products.
Contamination has repeatedly been found in talc-based cosmetics before.
